    Balanced Three-Phase Power Measurement Connection

    In three-phase power networks where the load may be considered to be

    balanced, the Clamp Meter may be used to make some basic measurementssuch as watts, VA, PF, and kWHr.

    Note

    This measurement is only suitable for balanced loads. It is not

    suitable for measurements other than nominally balanced, due to the

    consideration of only one current phase.

    Current is measured on one phase and the two voltages are measured on the

    remaining phase.

    LHarmonicsHarmonics are sinusoidal voltage and current with a frequency that

    corresponds to an integer multiple of the fundamental of the mains (line)

    voltage. Any signal can be split into an infinite number of sine waves of

    different frequency and amplitude. The contribution of each of these individual

    sine waves is represented in a bar chart up to the 40th harmonic. The smaller

    the harmonics (starting from the 2nd harmonic, as the 1st is the fundamental),

    the better the power quality. Harmonics are an indication of the distortion

    present in the measured parameter. This is displayed as % total harmonic

    distortion (%THD) or distortion factor (%DF).

    Harmonics may be represented as a percentage of the fundamental value

    (%H1) or as a percentage of the measured RMS value (%RMS) (See Table 6).

    As shown below in the A Harmonics screen, AUTO indicates the percentage is

    automatically scaled to the max of H (2) and above. Pressing theH key for3 seconds allows the scaling between values of 100 %, 40 %, 10 %, or 4 %,

    and then back to AUTO. The automatic scaling feature is necessary, as

    theoretically any harmonic beyond the fundamental can be as high as 600 %

    with respect to the fundamental (H (1)), since the Clamp Meter supports THD

    to 660 %. While 100 % can never be exceeded if %RMS is chosen from the

    menu, the scale could go as high 700 % if harmonic type %H1 had been

    selected. A scaling above 100 % is only available in the AUTO mode, wherethe scaling could be 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, or 700 % full scale.
